This 1961 Cessna 185 floatplane presents a well-equipped bush aircraft with recent upgrades and excellent useful load capacity. The airframe shows 8,797 total hours, while the Bonaire IO520D conversion engine has only 400 hours since major overhaul in 2002, with a 1,700-hour TBO remaining. The aircraft features EDO 3430 floats freshly stripped and painted, complete with wheeled landing gear plumbed for skis, offering versatile amphibious capability. Performance enhancements include Sportsman STOL modifications, wing extensions, Micro VG vortex generators, and flap gap seals, complemented by a zero-time propeller overhauled in 2025.
